An Iowa City man detained after a reported fight was arrested after head-butting an officer.
Police say they were dispatched to a report of a fight in progress on the 900 block of Spring Ridge Drive. Upon arrival, 20-year-old Layton Sime, who lives at the site of the incident, was located and detained.
A check of his criminal record showed outstanding warrants out of North Dakota, and Sime was placed under arrest.
On the way out of the residence, Sime allegedly became uncooperative and began actively resisting the officer. He reportedly head-butted the officer, causing pain, redness and swelling.
Sime has been charged with Assault on Persons in Certain Occupations causing Bodily Injury, an aggravated misdemeanor punishable by a jail sentence of up to two years if convicted.
